Danna Staaf Squid Empire Lecture and Book Signing

October 22: 7-8 p.m. Doors open at 6:30
Author: Danna StaafSquid Empire is an epic adventure spanning hundreds of millions of years, from the marine life of the primordial ocean to the calamari on tonight’s menu. Anyone who enjoys the undersea world—along with all those obsessed with things prehistoric—will be interested in the sometimes enormous, often bizarre cephalopod creatures that ruled the seas long before the first dinosaurs.

Be sure to arrive at 6:30 p.m. (before the lecture starts) for special cephalopod experiences:
